I am a small business owner.
I just hired my fifth employee.
83% of us are women.
Half of us identify as LGBTQ.
2 of us are Pacific Islanders.
1 of us is African American.
I have been in business for 9 years.
My lowest paid employee makes $23/hr.
We are thriving.

When they tell you you can't build a business model that looks like this, they're lying to you.

Today, a very niche tip for RSS fans :rss:

As well as Mastodon's built-in hashtag following system, you can also follow hashtags through RSS instead:

1. Search for a hashtag on a Mastodon server's website
2. Add .rss to the end of the URL
3. Use this URL as the feed address for that tag

For example to subscribe to #Dinosaurs on mstdn.social you would use this address in your feed reader:

mstdn.social/tags/dinosaur.rss

How many times have you had COVID (that you know of)?

(Boosts are fine)

For a woman with cancer in the seat next to you.

For your child’s teacher.

For grandpa who has gotten this far without #Covid19.

For a co-worker who is pregnant.

For a stranger next to you on the bus who has #LongCovid.

For the rest of us (we’re all vulnerable).

#MaskUp

Anybody confused why people still listen to turntables or CD players forget that they never:

- stop working because they can't connect to WiFi
- stop working because they need a firmware update
- stop working because the manufacturer dropped support
- say "if you like Bach you might like Taylor Swift"
- play ads
- recommend "turntable premium"

I'm sure it feels like the whole world is against you when you're acting like a shitty person who says shitty things and then you're called out for it and then you continue to explain how entitled you are to say shitty things and how no one can make you, so people start telling you to fuck off and you get angry that you can't be shitty and by fuck you're not gonna back down, but they keep telling you to go away and pretty soon no one will talk to you.

And that's "cancel culture."

As you think about whether or not to help get Democrats elected or to just let whatever happens happen, please keep in mind that ALL of the Republican nominees publicly called climate change a hoax the other night and today the entire town of Maryville, Louisiana is being evacuated because of #wildfires

Something has gone tragically wrong in the GOP and in the legal profession. At this pace, CPAC will need to hold its next convention in a prison yard. The Federalist Society may soon have to create a category of membership for the disbarred and convicted.
